Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[WildBill]

My first plant in coco with mega crop - RocBud pineapple sunrise auto on day 31. It’s just showing pistils now and hasn’t started blooming yet. Kinda making me feel like I need to switch 12/12 and this may not be an auto as advertised .....

But yea the first two weeks was rough but when the roots were established and I started giving her 4 grams per gallon of mega crop 1 part ph’d to 5.5-5.8 she took off. She’s also been given recharge brewed for 24 hours once and a compost tea with molasses brewed for 24 hours. I check the ppm it’s always between 530-600. Almost always right on the 550ppm. Anyways that seems to be working great. So well that I am considering running all my plants like this from Now on. Today I started using p31 microbes with my MC feed and this weekend I started twice a day, the container is going dry every 12 hours. After all the anxiety I have had from under/overwatering it’s great fun to just flood the container and water to 20% run off every day and the plant loves it too. Can’t wait to learn more about all this and get some dank smoke.

should I flip to 12/12 ? What do you guys think ?

I read somewhere not to brew Recharge for more than four hours. I would assume that the microbes would be close to exhausting the included nutes. Brewing it solely may be a descending return if exceeding that time. I add Recharge/Boost to the last 4 hours of my compost tea brew.
Just food for thought. I thought the info was from a valid source since I retained the info.

Post the pics on Roc's thread and ask them. I can't remember if she's one of the problem children or not, bud sure looks like she needs to be flipped. You should get an answer over there well in time if you need to flip her.

Ok I’ll remember that going forward. No need to brew recharge for 24 hours. And yea I thought so too. No blooming whatsoever and my tent is small I wanna be ahead of it it’s a haze plant too probably gonna stretch massive lol - cheers dude

@4d-Rock every watering I feed with mega crop and I try to stay with or behind by like .1-.2 below what greenleaf nutrients feed schedule says. I did hit a cal mag issue cuz I got behind by like .4 ec. I did change grow medium as well to promix which has helped I believe. Fingers crossed I make it through flower with no more issues.
Any tip for mega crop with fox farm coco loco?
It has some nutes so should I wait until using MC or just tapper down how much I give until I see deficiency and start from there?
I have a good amount of coco loco to use.

Cool man, I use Pro-mix as well so I can't help really with the coco. I had been having issues with it because the pH kept tanking by transition to flowering. I tried adding a few TBSP of Dolomitic lime per pot and stopped pH'ing my nutes so low (5.8-6.0) and things have improved a bit since making that adjustment. Still not perfect but working on it. What do you pH your feed to in the Pro-mix?

I would wait a week or so. She looks really good and helthy, good effort. Now this is my input, could be right could be wrong. Go with what resinates you you.

As others have said already I would wait if look at my previouspost on her of my sour diesel she took 30 days from seed and over a week to get more then a few pistils popping up.

So since I'm just going by mega crop directions no pH, tap water, and ya its been good. I know my tap sits about .3 ec and I just add that to what mega crop says to feed for ec at that stage. The sour diesel I check run off every few watering she has been sitting at 5.8 pH and last time 2.2 ec water was 1.8 ec going in.
Edit: earlier when I got behind in feeding and had a cal mag issue was cuz I forgot to take my tap water ec in to account

Patients, 5 or 6 weeks for some autos to start flowering is common.

HEY everyone um so it seems like I may have a cal mag issue again but some leaves say to much N if it's an older leaf that got hit with high N would it stay dark green and tip curl cause I know other types of nute damage is permanent. So I here asking if I need to give more mega crop or what? And some cal mag in when watering? I'm using tap water figured it have enough. Ph in promix is about 5.8 if that matters I'm also at 1.5 ec or 5 grams. Still early in flower maybe week 2 or beginning of week 3. Day 42 from seed.
